Non contentious law is emerging as one of the most important but overlooked drivers of the climate transition. Recent progress reveals an opportunity to engineer systemic change. This series of articles explores how strategic design, smarter funding and shared ambition can unlock the hidden legal infrastructure needed for a just transition.

The series of articles is a collaboration between colleagues at The Chancery Lane Project. Individually, each article identifies leverage points that could achieve disproportionate impact, and begins to map out what is needed to realise this. Together, we hope they provide a blueprint for how we can harness the full power of non-contentious law to tackle climate action.

The 1st article provides an overview of the hidden power of non-contentious law in the climate transition. It identifies 3 major development opportunities: building architecture, developing infrastructure, and launching a regranter.

The 2nd article, by Guillermo Miranda Garcia, explores the potential of legal education and training to realise systemic change in the field.

The 3rd article, by Humzah Khan, looks at the enormous potential that legal documents and processes have to drive sustainability through global supply chains.
